Line 288:
* An example of a movie's plot suffering from the effects of this: ''[[Gothika]]'' opens with Chloe's psych evaluation, where she describes murdering her stepfather, because it was "the only way to help him." When Halle Barry's character asks, "To help him to do what?", the TV edit changes her response to, "To help him stop fighting me!". The original is, "To help him stop ''fucking'' me". Since most of Chloe's problems revolve around how no one believes she's a rape victim, it makes her sound like an ordinary psycho (or someone who was physically abused by a parent at a young age and finally snapped in adulthood) and undermines most of what she represents in the story.
* Because of the success of the R-rated ''[[Saturday Night Fever]]'', and wanting to expand their audience, an alternate PG version was released to theaters back in the 70's. The swearing was kept in, but the scene with the stripper was deleted, and Annette's rape scene was softened.
* ''[[Fight Club]]'': In the book, Marla's line, "I want to have your abortion" was asked to be toned down. For the film, it was changed to "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school" - presumably not exactly what they were looking for...
* The 2018 [[Slender Man (film)|''Slender Man'']] film [http://collider.com/slender-man-cut-scenes was edited] by [[Screen Gems]] for a PG-13 rating and [[Too Soon|to avoid public backlash]] (considering the controversy surrounding the [[w:Slender Man stabbing|Slender Man stabbing]] that happened four years earlier). This meant major scenes [[Missing Trailer Scene|featured in the trailers]] were edited out of the film, creating continuity issues and even [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|the removal of two characters from the plot]].
